Question for the board concerning MSU turnovers

[PineGroveBully]

As long as I can remember, State always has a lot of turnovers, normally many more than our opponents. This has always drove me crazy with some of our carelessness, especially with some our better ball handlers. Also as long as I can remember we have also had about 3-5 short "white kids" on the end of the bench that get on the floor at the end of blowouts.

Do yall think that our team practicing against smaller, slower, less talented players day in and day out has any effect on the dumb mistakes we make every year?

Stansbury want athletes on the floor who can make plays...he believes rebounding and defense can win games.....he is right but the championship teams play defense and rebound PLUS they don't turn the ball over....I honestly don't think he cares about turnovers or freethrow shooting...

He lives with the turnovers because the rebound margin has traditionally been a strength for us. I'd sure like to have my cake and eat it too on this one.

anything to do with one another? Why not do well in both?

Most of our turnovers have everything to do with poor spacing & court awareness. Well coached teams on the offensive end do not commit these turnovers. Our players pass into or pickup their dribble in trap areas all the time. Due to poor spacing there is often an extra defender around the ball. There was one TO against Ole Miss for example where we had 3 players within 5-6 feet of each other at the top of the key.
